Remember Jahvid Best, the former Cal running back who had to give up his NFL career with the Detroit Lions because of concussion issues?

According to the Detroit Free Press, he’s training for this summer’s 2016 Olympics, hoping to make it as a member of the St. Lucia track team.

Best participated in track and field at Salesian High in Richmond, and his father is from St. Lucia, which is located in the Caribbean. The former Golden Bear still needs to obtain citizenship from that country but should have a shot because of his dad.

Best, 27, is seeking to qualify in the 100 meters, and posted a 10.16 seconds at the Arnie Robinson Invitational in San Diego in April.

He told the St. Lucia News that he visited his father’s native country as a child, but that he doesn’t have much memory of the trip.

“I just want to bring pride to Saint Lucia, to the Olympic team, to the sport of athletics,” Best told the newspaper. “I want to carry the flag around the track and make my family and country proud. I will be seeking a place on the team, representing my country would mean a lot to me, and to my family.”
